Lewis Black and five different government projects really kept me moving as 2006 comes to a close. Just when you think it's getting easier, the phone rings again!

Not that I'm complaining...the chance to work on a new series with History has really been beyond what I thought I could ever do in production. Working with a live audience is like going home for me, only now I get to add in all the stuff I learned from DECLASSIFIED.

And speaking of DECLASSIFIED, I've added an RSS feed to the blog since the show has been back in rotation on THC...and has been on History International as well. In fact, we were asked to do a little re-writing on one of the shows due to changes regarding one of our subjects. I'm not at liberty to reveal what the alterations were at the moment, but when the time is ripe...

And then there's all that other stuff I've been playing with: cutting half a dozen projects for various clients on Sony's Vegas platform has been great. I only regret that I didn't have enough time to finish a special holiday collaboration with my old pal Bill Rue of Vinylhaven. Next year look for the return of the Yule Log with amazing tunes by Bill...and this time let's make it Hi-Def!

I've done an awful lot of work in wikis in the last couple of months, too. The Cornerstone and DMHOMA sites are coming together well, I'm working on the launch of a massive new IT system called IBHIS for LA County, and we FINALLY got the Integrated System off the ground (IS = LA's 2 million+ record database for mental health providers). My end of that was a lot of writing, a lot of Captivate, and more than a little webmastering.

I guess I could do a little more work on the wiki this weekend...but perhaps it's time for a long winter's nap....
